Personaly, the "misunderstood aliens" crack me up, partly because of the [[Oni2:Oni 2|Oni 2]] perspectives with respect to [[Daodan]]. As for flying, breathing fire, and/or shocking electrically, I'm not the only one who'd like to see that in "future releases". | |||
Lum (see picture) is truly a bridge character between Japanese traditional mythology and anime: she's very "modern" in that she's a fairy alien royal demon gorgeous babe, and yet she stays true to the ''traditional'' features that characterize a (Buddhist) ONI : horns and tiger skin. | |||
